Nissan Altima 2022

The host was very accommodating. Communication was great. The only concern that I had, which I did share with the host was that the car was making a weird noise. I’m not sure what it could have been. My first thoughts were the rotors or ball joints. Host reassured me that maintenance had just been completed prior to my trip. At the end of the day, I would rent again.

Road trip car rental

If you take a road trip when you visit Glendale, the desert landscapes you find yourself in may feel strangely familiar. That's because some of the most famous Hollywood westerns were filmed in the area. You could take Arizona State Route 88 to follow the Apache Trail for jaw-dropping views of Canyon Lake and the Superstition Mountains, or you could take your rental car to South Mountain Park and visit Dobbins Lookout. A full size SUV would be a great choice for a desert road trip, or you could choose a convertible and really feel at one with nature.

Test drive car rental

If you are thinking about buying or leasing a new car, SUV or pickup truck, you should drive it first. You won't be able to really get the feel of the vehicle you are interested in during a short dealership test drive, but all of your questions will be answered if you can keep it for a few days. Whether you're interested in a compact hybrid, a sleek sports car or a pickup truck that can haul all your gear, you'll probably find it on Turo.

Top tips for renting a car in Glendale


Renting a car in Glendale will allow you to explore this vibrant desert community at your own pace. Attractions like the Thunderbird Conservation Park and Pleasant Regional Park will be just minutes away in a rental vehicle, and you won't have to adhere to strict timetables if you decide to visit them. With a comfortable and luxurious rental car at your beck and call, you'll be the one calling the shots.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Glendale?


Glendale is a suburban community, so traffic can be heavy during the morning and evening rush hours on major roads like Arizona State Route 101 and Interstate 17. If you plan to use these highways to visit nearby attractions, you can download the AZ511 app for accident reports, real-time traffic updates and other travel-related information. You can also dial 511 to get this information. You may also encounter traffic congestion if you use major arterial roads like West Glendale Avenue, Bell Road and Northern Avenue to explore Glendale.


What is parking like in Glendale?


Parking in Glendale is generally convenient, with a mix of free and paid options depending on where you’re headed. At the Westgate Entertainment District, you’ll find multiple surface lots and parking garages that are free during most events and for general shopping or dining. Downtown Glendale offers free on-street parking and public lots near areas like Old Towne and Catlin Court, making it easy to explore local shops and cafés on foot. If you’re attending a game or concert at State Farm Stadium or the Desert Diamond Arena, expect paid event parking starting around $10–$30, depending on proximity to the venue.


Are there toll roads in Glendale?


You won't have to worry about paying tolls if you visit Glendale because Arizona has no toll tunnels, bridges or roads. All roads and highways in Arizona are free to use, and a state law passed in 2023 prohibits tolls on state-controlled roads.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Glendale?


If you decide to rent an EV when you visit Glendale, you'll have no problem finding places to recharge its batteries.

There is also an EVgo charging station on West Bell Road, a Tesla Supercharger center on West Brandon Lane and a Volta charging station on North 95th Avenue.


Do I need to rent a car in Glendale?


Glendale is a sprawling suburban community, which means you'll have to do some driving to reach its most popular attractions. A rental car will cost less than taking cabs or using ride-share services if you want to experience everything Glendale has to offer, and it'll be a lot more convenient than relying on public transportation.
